WebSocket Heartbeat

Specific Domains Web Stack

The websockets Discord API expects clients to send a “heartbeat” every X milliseconds (it’s around a minute) to keep the connection alive. How can I (using WebSockets.jl or the HTTP.WebSockets module) send a websocket message containing the heartbeat in fixed intervals while still receiving events and also sometimes sending other messages?

Did you end up figuring this out? Thanks

using HTTP.WebSockets

uri = "wss://bla.bla"
heartbeatJSON = ""

WebSockets.open(uri) do socket
    @sync begin
		@async for msg in socket
			println(msg)
		end

		@async begin
			sleep(30)
			while !WebSockets.isclosed(socket)
				send(socket, heartbeatJSON)
				sleep(30)
			end
		end
end

This should work.
